Washington Commanders is pretty terrible, largely because it was immediately shortened to "Washington Commies" and "Washington C-Words".
Haha so true. Still better than the Redskins though. They should have left it as Washington Football Team.
Washington has a history of poor naming decisions. Who thought the Wizards was better than the Bullets?
reply
Having it be the Washington Redskins was especially bad. I'm struggling to think of an analogously bad combination of city and team name: The Beijing [whatever the slur is for Tibetans or Uighars].
I always thought the Bullets was a hilarious name for a DC or Baltimore team. Very on brand for those cities.

I don't think anyone became a gang banger because the team was called the Bullets but I understand not wanting to be seen as promoting gun violence. Bullets is a cool name though.
reply
I'm sure it didn't cause gang violence either, but I imagine those cities weren't exactly proud of the association.
"Baltimore Bullets" > "Washington Bullets"
